Tangelo is an evergreen tree with dense foliage that was first cultivated in Florida and southern California in 1897 as a cross between the Mandarin orange or a tangerine and either the pomelo or the grapefruit. Nowadays, it’s cultivated in tropical and subtropical climates.

The fruit is deep orange in color, with juicy and aromatic pulp that’s subacid to sweet in flavor. When ripe, fresh tangelo is usually eaten out of hand or used in fruit salads. It can also be used to make marmalades, desserts, juices, and sauces. 

Honeycrisp are American native apples originating from the University of Minnesota. They're also the state's official fruit. The apples were bred solely for their flavor, not for easy storing, shipping, or growing. They have a balanced sweet-tart flavor, and a crisp and juicy texture.

When you bite into one, the refreshing sweetness shatters in your mouth because these apples have large cells that fracture cleanly and release the juice when bitten, which is a unique trait of Honeycrisp. It's recommended to consume the apples raw as a snack, pair them with cheese, or use them in fresh salads, just don't bake them because Honeycrisp apples are not intended for the oven.

Mission figs are varieties of figs that were introduced to the United States in 1768, when Franciscan missionaries cultivated it in San Diego, hence their other name, Franciscana. They're dark-skinned, which is why they're also called black Mission figs.

When fully ripe, the figs have a dark pink flesh and a pleasant honey flavor. They're also available in dried versions, when the figs are still relatively moist and sweet. The first crop is available in early summer, while the second one is available from late summer through October. 

Oranges are a key part of Florida's state identity, and they have been commercially grown in Florida groves since the middle of the 19th century. It is believed that Ponce de Leon, a Spanish explorer, planted the first orange tree in St. Augustine in the 16th century.

Today, it is an industry that employs a lot of people, provides a habitat for wildlife, and creates a buffer from urban development. Florida oranges have five primary varieties: Hamlin, Pineapple, Navel, Ambersweet, and Valencia, and their season typically lasts from October through June.

Huckleberries are indigenous North American berries that grow wild throughout the mountainous areas of the northwestern United States and Canada. The berries vary in size and color depending on the species and may come in bright red, blue, dark purple, black, or even yellow to white color.

Often compared to their cultivated cousins, blueberries, the wild huckleberry species are part of the Vaccinium genus and Gaylussacia genus, and they are distinguished by a robust and sweet-tart flavor, thick skin, and a slightly crunchy texture coming from the seeds contained in the berries. 

Eureka is a lemon variety that originates from Los Angeles, California, 1858, as a descendant of the Italian Lunario lemon. It was introduced to the public by Thomas Garey in 1877. The lemons are large and elongated, with a vibrant yellow skin and a rind that's loaded with essential oils and an intensely fragrant aroma.

The flesh is juicy with few to no seeds, while the flavors are tangy, tart, and acidic. It's recommended to use them in sweet and savory dishes such as lemon meringue pie, marmalades, dressings, and marinades. They pair well with seafood, poultry, and tea.

SweeTango is a brand of apples that's been developed in Minnesota in 2000. These apples are a hybrid of Zestar and Honeycrisp breeds, and they've been commercially sold since 2009. They are characterized by their loud crunch, and they even hold the Guinness World Record for the loudest crunch of an apple.

The flavor is intense, rich, sweet, and tangy, while the apples themselves are red in color with a yellow background.

Cosmic Crisp (known to experts as WA 38) is an American apple variety that's a cross between Honeycrisp and Enterprise. Grown in Washington State orchards, the apples are large, red, crunchy, juicy, acidic, and sweet.

They can be eaten as they are or baked. These apples ripen more uniformly than other apple varieties, and once picked, they even brown more slowly than the other apples. Another key factor is their lengthy shelf life – apparently, Cosmic Crisp apples can stay fresh in the fridge for up to a year! 

Idared is an apple variety that was first developed in Idaho. It's a cross between the Jonathan and Wagener breeds. The apples are medium-sized with a bright red and green-red color. The flesh is juicy, crisp, and firm, while the flavors are sweet, tart, aromatic, and refreshing.

Available from fall through early summer, Idared apples are great for cooking and baking because they hold their shape very well. They can also be eaten raw, added to salads, or paired with strong blue cheese.
